Description: "Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, CEOs and CFOs must now sign on the dotted line, personally attesting to the accuracy of financial statements and to the fact that their companies have proper internal controls to prevent and detect fraud. That's a tremendous responsibility. This book helps executives understand complex compliance requirements, identify types of fraud, implement awareness and prevention training, and establish a robust fraud detection, investigation, and prevention program. More importantly, it helps companies establish an ongoing culture of compliance.

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) reports that the average organization loses six percent of its annual revenue to fraud and abuse; a proactive culture of compliance can significantly improve a company's bottom line." "Whether you're a CEO, CFO, manager, auditor, controller, risk management professional, or a student, Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control is your best route to understanding all the complex issues and responsibilities associated with fraud and compliance."--BOOK JACKET.
